A wounderfull tour to Uganda
Uganda trip was so especial to us as it was our first adventurous trip after the slow relief of COVID-19 . Our 14 days trip with JM Jungle Safaris Uganda Safari tour agent went very well and we managed to do all our wish list and activities in mind as requested. The communication was so smooth with the agent, and our tour operator Scovia was so helpful and quick in communication and even in providing recommendations. Our safari guide Mr. Andrew was so professional in executing the tour program and driving through tough road condition and made great efforts to find the animals during the game drives.

Mama Savanna were always quick to respond to queries, and provided an amazing trip through Tanzania.
Mama Savanna were the first operator to respond to my enquiry for a trip through Tanzania. My boyfriend and I were looking to experience the best possible wildlife viewing, staying at a range of mid-range camps and lodges, and Mama Savanna delivered. In the lead up to the trip, Alex was impressive with his communication, adapting the itinerary to suit multiple changes and always responding very quickly, no matter what time of night or day we were messaging him from the UK!
As this was our first trip to Tanzania, we wanted to experience a classic safari, and our itinerary including Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Tarangire definitely delivered on this. Our guide, Allen, was experienced and knowledgable for the most part, ensuring that we were well looked after in the camps, and working hard to give us the best wildlife viewing possible. He really came through when it came to the Mara River crossing which we thought we might be too late in the season to see, but he knew the right time of day to be there in case they crossed, and we ended up being in an excellent position to get great photos and watch the spectacle with only 2 other game viewers there! He was an excellent spotter, particularly when it came to leopards which he could see from a great distance.
The itinerary is flexible right up to the point of travel, so we were a little surprised not to be staying in some of the camps we had agreed on, but all of the camps and lodges were excellent and many were actually upgrades so this worked out really well.
Allen worked tirelessly to make sure we had a great experience, getting up before dawn to prep the vehicle and always with a great attitude. He was tactful in giving us a great balance of meals with him and time to ourselves too. The only area that was a little more challenging was the birding - I am a keen birder and this wasn't Allen's natural area of expertise, but he worked so hard to bone up on this and was always looking things up for us and consulting his birding book. Overall our trip to Tanzania was fantastic and we were really pleased with the quality of the experience, the wildlife viewing and the communication and organisation of Mama Savanna, as well as the reasonable pricing.

The drive game was very good and we saw all the animals. Our guide had a big knowledge about the parks and animals.
Definitely value for money.

8 days / 7 nights tailored Kenya Safari
We have booked our Safari with Explorer Kenya a few weeks before our trip.
The contact via Email with Explorer Kenya was easy and Robert got always back with answers in no time.
At the end we had a tailor made safari of 8 days and 7 nights in Amboseli and Masai Mara.
The entire organization was top. There was a little hick up as we ordered Softdrinks throughout the entire safari but they got forgotten. The problem could be solved very easy during the trip.
Our Safari Driving Guide Jonathan was top. He was super helpful, professional and he brought us always safe and sound from A to B. Thanks to his enthusiasm and the radio equipment of the Land cruiser we were able to see so many animals in both parks and had some unforgettable moments.
As a little con I would like to mention the hassle with the payment. First the company charges a high percentage of 3,9% of the total amount for Visa and Mastercard payments. This shouldn't be anymore in 2021. (By the way: we didn't pay any credit card fees at hotels, Lodges, shops and so on). But ok, so we choose the bank transfer. I sent the deposit of the safari with all costs covered by my bank but 15$ got lost somewhere in the transaction. It was no problem as I payed the rest of the amount prior arrival. So I did sent the rest of the amount, all costs covered by myself plus an additional 15$ to cover the cost lost in transaction. But this time 33$ didn't arrived. Explorer Kenya said it is an intermediate bank but my house bank operates worldwide and sent the amount direct. So to avoid losing 48$ please check with your bank about the payment.
All in all we had an amazing stay in Africa and the Parks and variety of animals are simply amazing. Thank you to Jonathan for the adventures and guiding us during our Safari.

Efficient budget solution
We took a 7 day Kenya Safari, which was overall a good value. Camping in Amboseli and numerous animals were a highlight of our trip to Kenya. We added a hike to Mt Longonot to our safari, which was a good decision. Nontheless we have a couple of critics. Castro, our guide, was ok, his driving a little too much for us, specially on the main roads. His knowledge of animals would need a little upgrade. For a visit of the final park we were transfered to another group, which brought us another guide, Jackson. We have only compliments for him, really great and experienced guide. Critics for Karibu Safaris is that they promised on webpage water for the whole week, when on the 5th day Castro said there is no more water. Also the change in the program wasn't communicated with us, so we did the big hike to Mt Longonot directly when arriving to Kenya, without any sleep, unlike on the agreed 3rd day. Nontheless safari in Kenya was one of the most fulfilling experiences ever and a must if you are there!

Beyond expectations!
Beyond expectations!
Ibrahim is one of the most caring & kind person we ever met. He really made all possible efforts to understand the specific desires of each one and to meet them
We booked very last minute and communication was easy and fast. Our guide Fredy showed all the best sights of Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park and Ngorogoro crater. They picked beautiful hotels for us as well as a very authentic tented camp in Serengeti
I would recommend Luitours and Safaris to anyone considering a safari to Tanzania. In fact, we didn't stop smiling.
Thank you Ibrahim and Fredy for making our Tanzanian experience a trip we will never forget. It was really nice.
